Some scenes from the book I'm writing, brought to life through Dall-e 3

These are extremely specific but it's because I want it just how I picture it in my head. Surprisingly, a lot of these came out perfectly. You don't know how wild it is to see your writing come to life through a (computer generated) painting.

A few things you need to know…

My book is about a teenage boy in 1907. His name is John Weston, but everyone calls him Wes. He sells newspapers for his living and lives on the street. He saves the life of an old man named Tom, but the Tom also kind of saves his life too. An old woman named Mrs. Krall, who is writing a book, teaches him to read. He meets a girl named Alice and they fall in love.

A rough, impressionistic oil painting of a tall, teenage boy with brown hair. The teenage boy is poor and wears a coat. The teenage boy has a small smile. It is set in 1900 New York City. It is late autumn. (This might be what Wes looks like)

A rough impressionistic oil painting of a poor, tall, older teenage boy sitting and reading a thick book. His chin rests on his hand. He is very focused. Set in 1900. (Wes learning to read)

A bold, rough, impressionistic oil painting of a group of 4, tall, teenage boys in coats in a New York City street in 1900. The teenage boys are chatting and laughing. 2 teenage boys smoke cigarettes. 1 Teenage boy holds a stack of newspapers under his arm. It is late autumn. (This is Wes and his newspaper friends)

A rough, impressionistic oil painting of a thin, withered old man in an old brown suit. He sits with his elbows on a wooden table in an old kitchen in the evening. he is finishing his dinner. it is set in 1900. (Tom eating dinner)

A rough, impressionistic oil painting of a small old lady in dark blue dress and big light gray shawl. The old lady's white hair is in a bun. She sits at a wooden table in an old kitchen in the early morning. She writes on paper with a dip pen. it is set in 1900. (Mrs. Krall, though I'm not fully satisfied with her yet. She's proved very hard to describe. The software kept trying to give her beards :)

This is Alice, who Wes falls in loves with. Can you blame him?(A rough, impressionistic oil painting of a young woman with dark red hair that is tied back with a green ribbon. The young woman is poor and wears a coat. It is set in 1900 New York City. It is late autumn.)

Poor little three year old Alice, immigrated from Ireland at three years old. She's alone because her parents died on the voyage. (A bold, rough, impressionistic oil painting of a three year old girl with bright red hair. The girl is scared and unattended on a cold, crowded dock in New York, 1900.)

Alice looks too young here but I just can't get enough of this little tableau. HOW CAN A COMPUTER CAPTURE HUMAN EMOTION? HOW DOES IT UNDERSTAND LOVE? HOW??? This is the first time the image generator gave me an idea. What I think happened is that they were walking together and she took his hand and smiled at him. They've never held hands before. He's still processing it :) (A rough, impressionistic painting of a poor young woman with dark red hair and a poor, tall teenage boy with brown hair. The young woman and the tall teenage boy both wear old coats. The hold hands and smile in a cold, snowy city street at night. It is set in 1900.)

Hope you enjoyed! More to come!

Let me know if you want to read my book when I'm finished!

Some of my favorite Dall-e 3 images I've made (Cute animals, part 2, Winter Edition)

A felt diorama of a chunky polar bear making a snow angel in the snow. the bear's eyes are closed and the bear is smiling contentedly. warm particles of light fall like snow.

A felt diorama of a cat looking at a christmas tree. The cat is looking at its own reflection in a shiny glass ornament. Dim lighting, except for the warm lights on the tree.

A cozy pig in a warm crescent roll blanket in a nice warm oven cute photo (pigs in a blanket)

Hope you enjoyed! More to come!

A challenge for my fellow academics

Read Ecclesiastes. I'm serious. Here's a peek at it:

What does man gain by all the toil

at which he toils under the sun?

A generation goes, and a generation comes,

but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises, and the sun goes down,

and hastens to the place where it rises.

The wind blows to the south

and goes around to the north;

around and around goes the wind,

and on its circuits the wind returns

All streams run to the sea,

but the sea is not full;

to the place where the streams flow,

there they flow again.

All things are full of weariness;

a man cannot utter it;

the eye is not satisfied with seeing,

nor the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done,

and there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there a thing of which it is said,

“See, this is new”?

It has been already

in the ages before us.

There is no remembrance of former things,

nor will there be any remembrance

of later things yet to be

among those who come after.

Ecclesiastes 1:3-11

It's full of poetry, rich language, and It's the only book of philosophy that gives true hope at the end. It covers everything.

It was written by Solomon, who was a king of ancient Israel. It says in 1 Kings 10: 23 that "King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom." He was the wisest, as well as the richest man in the world. This guy had access to everything. That's important to know as you read.

Another thing: in Ecclesiastes, it mentions the fear of the Lord/fear of God often. When it says this, it does not mean fear as in you're scared of God. It means a deep reverence, an awe that leads you to honor and obey God.

Coming off of that, when it mentions wisdom, it does not mean mere book knowledge or logical prowess. It is using the definition of wisdom in Proverbs 1:7, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." In the Bible, when it talks about true wisdom, it means a reverence and honor and obedience of God. First, you must agree with God about who you are and who he is, then through that lens you can properly view the world. I pretty much gave away Ecclesiastes right there. :)

Using that definition of wisdom, a foolish person would be a person who hates God, scoffs at God, doesn't believe God exists, doesn't obey or desire to obey God, and doesn't want to listen to a wise person who tells them to fear God.

Defining terms is always helpful. I hope that was helpful for you guys!

Also, it's important to read to the end to get the point of Ecclesiastes. And I would also recommend reading it through in one sitting. If you finish it and want more, I would recommend the whole Bible. But for more specific direction, Genesis explains the beginning of the world, John explains Jesus, Proverbs talks about wisdom, and Ephesians explains the gospel.

My biggest challenge to you, my fellow academics, is not simply to read Ecclesiastes, but to inspect your own heart as you read. Be brutally honest with yourself. Are you truly wise, or are you striving after wind? Is your life vanity?

It doesn't have to be.

Write a letter. You decide whether to send it or not.

Paint using different shades of the same color.

Scribble poems to tack to the wall, glue in journals, and use as bookmarks.

Make tea while wrapped in a blanket. Close your eyes and breath in the perfumed steam.

Lay on the floor and think.

Scour thrift stores for button downs, blazers, and books.

Rip out those old book pages for other purposes.

Paint your nails the color of your enemy's blood, fresh or coagulated, it's your choice.

Go to a library and write about people that you see-what their lives might be like.

Change your bedding with something old in the linen closet.

Play chess or learn how.

Drink hot coffee as black and bitter as your heart.

Compare two different philosophers and their ideas.
